In preparation for Sunday's premiere of "Game of
Thrones," New Zealand's SKY TV has erected a giant statue of
the most-hated man in Westeros — King Joffrey.

The 23-foot statue placed in Auckland is
part of a promotional stunt for SKY TV's SoHo (which
broadcasts many HBO programs including "Game of Thrones").

The statue is tied to SKY TV's bringdowntheking.com, which gives fans the chance to
topple the statue using Twitter.

Tweeting out #BringDownTheKing causes a rope wrapped around the
statue to pull tighter and tighter until the statue crumbles to
the ground.

“‘Game of Thrones’ is a worldwide phenomenon and King Joffrey is
quite possibly the most hated fictional television character of
all time,” SKY’s director of programming, Travis Dunbar told
Mediabistro's Agency Spy. “It’s exciting to
give fans an opportunity they are dying for; to assist in the
demise of the King of the Iron Throne.”
